SAN FRANCISCO, June 28 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is Jim Barksdale's
statement regarding the court of appeals decision in United States vs.
Microsoft:

    "Today, the essence of the Findings of Fact and the Conclusions of Law
were upheld:  Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) is a monopoly and the company has
engaged in illegal activities to maintain that monopoly power, despite the
decision to reverse the remedy.  I hope that the Government and the judge to
which this case was remanded will keep these facts foremost in their minds
when deciding how Microsoft's pattern of anticompetitive behavior and abuse of
monopoly power will effect the future of technology and innovation."
    Jim Barksdale, partner of The Barksdale Group, is the former President and
CEO of Netscape Communications Corp.
